I thought I'd start this thread for the soccer fans on this site. I primarily only watch the English Premier League, which starts Saturday. Feel free to talk about any other leagues(Bundesliga, La Liga, Serie A, Ligue 1 etc...). I'm very excited for the season as my Everton look decent and picked up Romelu Lukakkkakkku. You may remember him for scoring against the US(). I don't know if there is a lot of soccer fans on this forum or how popular this thread will be, but I thought I'd give it a shot. Feel free to talk about your favorite teams, players, or league.

I know, it's ridiculous. It's kind of one of the most "unfair" things in soccer, if you will. Because if you are one of the top 10 players in the world, it's only a matter of time before Barca, Real Madrid, or Bayern snatch you up. The amount of resources they have is nuts.

Forbes ranked Barca the top team in terms of revenue I think. More than the Yankees or the top NFL team.

I was just about to add: might as well put FC Bayern on that list too since they added Lewandowski.

If you drafted players to fill out two all-star rosters in La Liga, you'd be hard pressed to pick many players not on Real Madrid or Barca, especially now that Courtios and Diego Costa are gone from Atletico. Pretty much ditto for Bayern and Dortmund in the Bundesliga and PSG and Monaco in Ligue 1.

Hmm hard to really argue with that. Koke & Gabi deserve HM's. I think Griezmann is the only one who might get a look.

Yeah, the EPL is really picky, as is FIFA.
On the bright side, Man U lost!

I started watching the game @ 60:00 and then saw there's 2 other games I can watch later. It's a bit overwhelming all the games available on the NBC web site. Almost MLB overwhelming, and that's just one league. Plus MLS here. Too much too follow.

I'm just gonna start with some Everton games as Howard is on the team.
